This was not noticed because `cert8.db` and `key3.db` were used if there were a `libnssdbm3` on the machine. In OL9, there is no `libnssdbm3`, so the failures appeared.

Thanks for the explanation~
Then what happens to the `pkcs11/tls/tls12` test which does not have cert9.db/key4.db? Will they continue to work against newer NSS releases with default sqlite=true?
